Kawerau Medical Centre Mural
|
The large mural in the reception area was painted by artist Emma Malota, cousin of Dr Emily Hermanson and is based on the history of Kawerau. “Kawerau” was an ancestor of the Ngati Tuwharetoa tribe, a grandson of the great Toi-Kai Rakau, a famous chief who lived in the Bay of Plenty before the 1350AD Maori fleet arrived. Ngati Tuwharetoa lived on berries, fern roots and tawhara, so "Kawerau" got his name from the "gathering and carrying of leaves" at harvest time. Rongoa (traditional Maori medicine) is the theme of the mural, and plants such as Harakeke, Kawakawa, Koromiko/Kokomuka, Rata, Manuka, Ponga are depicted. The weaving pattern represents the banks of the Tarawera river, and the kowhaiwhai pattern, it's swift moving current, as it flows past the maunga Putauaki (Mt Edgecumbe) and the town of Kawerau. The addition of birds and insects bring the whole mural to life!
We are displaying more of Emma's artwork throughout the building, or check out her website here. |

Dr O'Sullivan and his wife, Tracy, established low-cost health clinic Te Kohanga Whakaora (Nest of Wellness).
